Dear Everyone,

I'm so sorry for burdening you all with how i am feeling i didn't even consider your own personal conditions and how you all were going with that.

I always say and do the wrong things. Usually i am very considerate of others this is not how i usually am.

Once a screw up always a screw up and also a mistake.

There are no words to describe just how down i am at the moment.

Chris

Extremely sorry to everyone. Please forgive me because i can't.

Hey Chris, dont be ridiculous, you haven't burdened anyone! Nothing to be sorry for! personally, im glad if i could be of help in any tiny way, if there is anything at all i can do to help someone suffering like you, then ill do it because i know how dreadful it feels, Please don't be so hard on yourself - give yourself a pat on the back for doing what you did and speaking to us and also to someone at suicide call back who really knows how to help properly. Yay!!!

It's the depression has got you down, not you. You have achieved an amazing thing since you first posted - you have reached out, asked for support and got it. That takes guts and strength. And even though you feel bad right now, I can see you are a strong courageous person, the depression just won't let you see that right now. 

Give it time, and be patient, life will get better than this, I am living proof. You should be immensely proud of yourself for getting on here and talking to all of us. You have us all to help you!  An instant support group :-). Well done Chris D.!!!!

dear Chris, I have to apologise for not being on here until now, because it's been a few hours to get back to you, but hell the multitude of caring people just wanting to help you has been great, you know they and I are so worried for you.

Yes I wish all of us could be there with you, and we will not accept sorry, all we want from you down the track is say thankyou.

Here we are talking about YOU and how depressed you are, and want to assure you that we want you to slowly begin to feel so much better, and the beginning for this to happen is to realise all the people here are your friends.

The girls here can be more affectionate than us men, that's there nature, while the men can only go to certain extent, but we or I feel the same way as the girls.

I am not sure whether or not you are still up now, (1.30am), anyway please get back to us, the more you can talk to your friends here, then you know that you have people trying to help you. Geoff.

Hi Everyone,

I can't say just how much i appreciate all of your concerns for me. So from the bottom of my heart THANKYOU.

Have been up all night, can not sleep. I don't know what else to say, you all know how i am feeling.

I have been burnt by so many people in the past and recent past that i can't trust anyone and i mean anyone.

SORRY TO EVERYONE should not have come on here and burden you all with my problems.

Chris

Hi Chris I have hopped on board your post here a little later. Listen why are you a lost cause and think your wasting peoples time? This is what this forum is about that all of us suffer with depression and through our experiences we help each other and support one another. Well done for sharing your story and yes the depression is making you think and feel like this. Keep up with the medication, psych visits,, gp and slowely you will get through this it just takes time. Ring the emergency numbers if your feeling really bad you have lots of options and help around you make sure you use it all. take care and keep strong. x
